#32On a side note: I think Pentagram did an amazing job with the WCC branding [1] in 2014. It's ridiculously non-conventional for a serious organization such as FIDE to adopt it. They did reject the proposal for Shuka Design for the new "pawnographic" (as it was hastagged on twitter) logo [2] for the 2018 championship and only kept the arms tangled up around a chess board. Still, its extraordinary and personally I love…
I'm glad they rejected the Shuka Design, that thing was over-designed and bad on so many levels. What is the version. What are you referring to by "only kept the arms tangled up"?
I really like the ones from [1], now that's what I call great design.

#33Considering AlphaZero was orders of magnitude stronger than stock fish, it would be interesting to see AlphaZero's analysis if it was available. Edit: Alphazero's record against Stock Fish is 28 wins, 72 ties and 0 losses. In a 100 game matchup, AlphaZero had 28 wins 72 draws and 0 losses. I'd classify that as orders of magnitude better. https://www.chess.com/news/view/google-s-alphazero-destroys-...
According to the ChessNetwork yt channel, Alpha zero does not consistently beat stockfish. But when it does, it does so in a very interesting manner.

The 2014 branding reminds me of the best of mid-century graphic design. Very rare to see it today.

#35Magnus Carlsen with a rating of 2835 is playing against Fabiano Caruana with a rating of 2832. This is their 7th game. They tied for all the previous 6.
The curious thing is that Carlsen’s ELO didnt’t get nibbled even after all theese consequent draws. They’re too close.
That's because ELO only gets updated at the end of a tournament, not every game.

It's not orders of magnitude stronger. But I agree, it's be interesting to see Alpha's analysis.

But yeah, it would be interesting to see a side by side comparison of alphazero and stockfish's live analysis of these games.

#37Dumb chess question from a person that's never competed, why are international chess rankings divided by Male or Female? There are even olympic sports now that are mixed-gender such as Curling.
There aren't different ratings, but there are women-only tournaments, championships, and so on. The reason is just that there are a lot fewer women in elite chess than men.
For example, Hou Yifan, the #1 woman in the world in terms of rating, is 91st overall.

AlphaZero was playing Stockfish 8. This is done using Stockfish dev which is more than 110 ELO higher than Stockfish 8 (see https://github.com/glinscott/fishtest/wiki/Regression-Tests) and higher than what was reported for AlphaZero.
Check out the Leela project, which is trying to reproduce and improve the AlphaZero project to also beat Stockfish dev: http://lczero.org/ (at this point they are about equal with Stockfish 9)

#39Earlier quoted context omitted.
Welcome to modern, boring chess. I wish we still had hyper-aggressive grandmasters like Mikhail Tal.
Late in his career Mikhail Tal put the fireworks away and transformed himself into a supreme technician. He set a record for the longest undefeated streak in chess history. Basically he'd fit right in today.
Interestingly enough, that record was just broken by Chinese GM Ding Liren, who played 100 games before losing to Maxime Vachier-Lagrave at the Shenzhen Masters tournament.

Chess24 has real-time human commentary as well as shorter post-game summary.
It is very fun but I think that to fully follow Chess24 commentary real-time you need to be FIDE 1900+
